A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind,as well as the body.

Not as bad as I thought

Its been about 2 weeks since this new pay system was put in effect. So far so good. I learned how to budget from my landlady....I know she is great!!! I never really was taught how to budget and one day I was talking to her and asked if she has any idea how to help me budget. It was simple and easy and I still use it after 4 years of living here. I put a certain amount every night for rent and my one bill,a certain amount for the van and then I splurge!! No I am kidding. Money gets put aside for the week. Food,carfare and then I really don't touch it. I am waiting for the just before X-mas sales to buy just a little something for my self. Something to wear as I am the practicable one. Don't know if that is good or bad just the way I am. Being brought up poor and cheap .....always having to watch the penny jar does that.

Wish this was mine!! Its pretty full.

Nothing exciting happening here. I have gotten a few things. I bought a agm battery,smart charger and a inverter so I can start to see how the electric part of this will happen. I need to do it before I am in the van so I say lets practice now!! I have some time. I want to be out by spring. Thats about 3 months from now. We will see. Its getting closer...YAH!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

3 more months ...in the clear!



In 3 months I will have cleared all my debt to credit cards. Yahoo! Damm right this deserves a BIG yahoo. I do have one thats on line. Very low ..about 150 bucks which I plan to hold on to for a while. Since I don't have a car to get places this has been a good place to buy things I need. But when I get the van up and I'm going say bye bye to that one too. My credit btw is shot. In a few years I guess I can make it better. But I really don't care less about it. Ta ta to them is really all I want.

This month of July I am writing down every nickel and dime on what I am spending. I would like to know how much I will be saving once I am on the road which is getting coming closer than I think. I get butterfly's and dizzy when I think about it. I only really have one thing I really want to get once I save up enough in the van. New hearing aids!!!
